Re: HELP ! region free dvd player???

Excuese me sir, you seems to know a lot about DVD region. I also have a problem about my blue DVD region code. I bought a blue ray DVD in UK days before when there on holidays, after I went backback to Hong Kong, i found that my DVD did not work on my player. I bought this program (http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/how-to-remove-region-code-from-dvd-actually.html)from an online shop which claims to change region code. I convert mine from region code 1 to region code 5, but still not compatible with my DVD player. It just keeps reading.I tried HandBrake but it wouldn't decode any encrypted DVDs, it requires an add-on named libdvdcss.

It's listed as region free media playback under the details tab but I can't find any official writing on LG's website. Only things i could find were other forums and reviews that did state it was region free. Pal <-> NTSC video conversion built in. http://www.lg.com/ca_en/blu-ray-players/lg-UP970

I would be cautious about this one.

The official site only lists PAL/NTSC conversion, which is not the same as region free. As far as I know, it is illegal to sell RF players, but perhaps the laws have changed.

It is fairly easy to get RF players from third party retailers or auction sites.
